Minsk Enjoys Native American Music of the Fox Trio following the Fox Trio concert

American composer, filmmaker, master percussionist, writer and arts educator Stacey Fox and her trio inspired Belarusians to bang the drums after a concert at the Philharmonic Hall in Minsk. The Fox Trio performance included the sound of the Native American big drum, traditional Inuit and Tibetan influences, as well as some rock and roll and modern musical elements. Stacey Fox and her musicians were the first ever American band to perform as a special guest at the 4th annual Ambasovischa music festival sponsored by the U.S. Embassy and held at the ambassador’s residence. The festival provides a unique opportunity for up-and coming rock and folk bands from various regions of Belarus to perform in the capital and to exchange their ideas with other musicians. During their stay in Belarus, the Fox Trio were also invited to a farmstead, where they played a jam session with well-known local folk musicians.
